Beau Rollins, Arthrex’s Biological Safety Laboratory supervisor,
and a team of scientists are leading the development of this innovative new
testing laboratory. “Arthrex products (devices, implants and materials) must
comply with very strict standards and regulations,” said Beau. “Historically,
we’ve sent our products to contract laboratories for testing, but due to our
growth, size, and innovative approach to the marketplace, it has become an
imperative venture to build an internal laboratory with
state-of-the-art capabilities.”
Arthrex is committed to providing the finest quality products and educational services to meet the special needs of orthopaedic surgeons and their patients, making the testing and research phases key to the product life cycle.
“Since our start earlier this year, we have expanded our scope greatly and currently perform in-house studies to assist production with faster product release times, as well as substantially improved international approvals for regulatory,” said Beau. “We currently utilize a Gas Chromatograph with Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and a newly-built Cell Culture Lab to perform key functions in all our studies. Over the next year, we plan to expand the lab even further, providing ever increased positive benefits to surgeons and their patients around the globe.”
